$8K will mean a compromise if it must include a decent large screen video display. Kal

reluctant about home theater
It is possible. Set up the stereo system as you would and only add the necessary speakers for HT. I prefer to use an analog multichannel preamp which accommodates HT but is not a compromise for stereo.Kal 
Bass traps
Instead of hit-and-miss, there are logical approaches to this which will maximimize the chance of success. Just throwing in panels and traps is not the way. Take a look at www.realtraps.com or www.rivesaudio.com for useful information. You do not ... 
Improving sound in the room
Not egg trays but compressed fiberglass. Good for absorbtion and the thicker the better for bass (and placed in corners). See www.realtraps.com or www.rivesaudio.com for ideas.Kal

New Pre-Pro or Pre with HT by-pass
There are pre/pros with analog bypass.Kal 
What sub for B&W HTM1d and 802ds?
1. You do not move concrete and that's OK.2. I am afraid you left out all the useful info, so...3. What pre/pro are you using and what bass management does it have?4. Have you measured your room's modes or, even, just the FR?Kal
